They say, streetfigthers is soooo last year. This year, it´s all about the streetdancers revolution.
“They” is the great guys from Don´t be Naked, a little store, based in Reykjavík that offers selected products from young designers.

Well, while definitely going for dancing instead of fighting, personally i am still not excited about the vision of me, dancing the night away in a patchwork balloon. I would be the most ridiculous dancer in the world. But i DO KNOW that there are FEW people out there that will look insanely fantastic in that wild patterned wonder. Catch it as long as you can.

When i was looking through the Mundi Design collection at Premium Berlin in February 2008 i was stunned. A superyoung boy was sitting in front of me, pretending, he´s the head behind Mundi. Hum! U.N.B.E.L.I.E.V.A.B.L.E talent this youngster.
It´s just his second collection and Vogue UK already features him on the website. He´s coming from Reykjavík, Iceland, taking the fashion crowd by storm with his avantgarde collection just before hitting his twenties: fast-forward vita, remarkable talent.

When I heard about the Icelandic design collective Vík Prjónsdóttir, a huge smile covered my face.
While winter season is the most horrible time for me - no matter what I wear, my hands and feet are frozen, my nose is running and I count the days for spring- it seems, that the designers of Vík Prjónsdóttir make best out of their long, icy and dark winter: The 5 designers of Vík Prjónsdóttir collaborate with Víkurprjón, one of the oldest and best known knitwear producers in Iceland and develop unconventional products that not only make subtle reference to local myths, customs, and needs but also are made of 100 % Icelandic sheep wool that is warm, light weight and water-repellent.

The sealpelt (above) refers to an Icelandic myth, where seals are believed to be condemned humans. Besides the mythical side-effect, the seapelt reminds me of a felicitous crossing of a jumpsuit and a sleeping bag that promises a comfy and cosy wintertime. If I could afford, I would chose a purple, yellow, silver one to add some trashiness. I wonder, what my postman would say, if I would open my office door in a brand new seapelt …
